The National safety Bureau warned in September 2026 that Russia wanted primarily to block European aid for Ukraine and could intensify military action in the autumn and winter. The mark is railroad, bridges and border crossings. For Poland this means direct hazard to infrastructure, safety and freedom to make sovereign decisions.
Russia hits the aid facilities
Director of the Armed Forces and Uniform Services Department of the BBN Gen. Dyw. Adam Rodzikowski informed journalists that since the beginning of September, the aggressive actions of Russian services against places utilized in Europe to supply assistance to Ukraine have been observed. He indicated railways, bridges and border crossings. According to Virtual Poland as PAP, the general considered the blocking of aid to Ukraine as an overriding goal of Russian activities in Europe.
This informing concerns Poland directly. Our country is an crucial transportation facility for support directed to Ukraine, and the Kremlin chooses tools of force to the weaknesses of individual countries. Any effort to paralyze transport, intimidate society or weaken the political will to aid at the same time undermines Polish sovereignty. Moscow wants to decide what is allowed in Warsaw. Poland cannot let this.
Official news to the NSA about the September gathering with the media confirms that the conversation active actions of the Russian Federation towards Poland and NATO countries, incidents, misinformation, the situation in Ukraine and allied cooperation. The threat list shows that force is not limited to the front. Includes logistics, information and state resilience.
Escalation below the War threshold
Deputy manager of the BBN Analysis Department Colonel Mariusz Soliwdzki estimated that Russia's full-scale aggression against NATO states was improbable in the short word until The Kremlin considers it a high-risk war against the Alliance. More and more real are the sharper actions below the war threshold, including by military means.
This is simply a peculiarly dangerous scenario, due to the fact that the opponent hopes for uncertainty and procedural disputes. The provocation is to look like a coincidence, sabotage like a failure, and surgery as an influence like a spontaneous voice of public opinion. That is why the assurance that NATO will defend Poland from Russia's expanding pressure, must be covered by military, service and critical infrastructure. The political message itself will not halt the threat.
Autumn and Winter at Risk
BBN assesses the likelihood of additional mobilization in Russia after the election to the State Duma as moderately high. Its possible scale or impact on war is not yet known. In the autumn and winter it was likely that Russian military actions against Ukraine would escalate.
Russia maintains a confrontation course and shows no readiness to actually end the war and return to complying with global standards. At the same time, BBN stresses that even the ceasefire, the freezing of battles or the ending of the current war phase will not remove the long-term threat to the countries of the region. It is an crucial sobriety for those who would like to sale all truce to Poles as a lasting peace.
Poland needs resistance, not calming spells
Prime Minister Donald Tusk spoke in the Sejm about possible serious events in the coming months. Among the threats, he listed hybrid drone and rocket strikes on countries supporting Ukraine, including Poland. specified actions would undermine the motivation of NATO states to launch allied mechanisms.
The answer must not be limited to alarmist occurrences. The State must defend railway junctions, bridges, airports, border crossing points, energy networks and communication systems. It needs efficient counterintelligence, anti-aircraft defence and clear consequence procedures. Polish participation in anti-balistic coalition and cooperation with Ukraine make sense only erstwhile they strengthen the Republic's ability to defend and act together with allies.
The stakes are simple: the safety of Polish families, continuity of functioning of the state and the right of Poland to conduct its own policy without Russian blackmail. Helping Ukraine is not a sentimental act. It serves to remove Russian forces from Polish borders. However, it must go hand in hand with the tough protection of its own territory, as the Kremlin primarily tests the resilience of those he wants to intimidate.
